For those of you who couldn’t join us at our Art of Influence event yesterday, panels and interviews will be available to Inner Circle subscribers over the next several weeks. (Upgrade here if you want to access them all.) In the meantime, a quick recap: The day started with superstar collectors—Michael Ovitz, J. Tomilson Hill, Dasha Zhukova Niarchos, and Glenn Fuhrman—sharing their unique perspectives. We followed that with three prominent art advisors—Wentworth Beaumont, Brett Gorvy, and Patti Wong—offering their insights into each region of the world and the specific needs of collectors therein. Afterward, Glenn conducted an eye-opening interview with Nicolas Party, who has become one of the most successful artists of his generation. The chat revealed the fascinating dynamics of his work with six different galleries.

After a delicious lunch, Charles Stewart discussed his vision for Sotheby’s now that the Breuer Building is set to become part of the brand’s personality. (Charlie didn’t let it slip that he won the Lauder collection—more on that in another newsletter—before he set off to London.) Museum directors Anne Pasternak of the Brooklyn Museum and Scott Rothkopf of the Whitney let us in on their challenges and triumphs, especially around increasing free access to their museums. Finally, the inimitable Larry Gagosian, looking especially stylish in his tortoiseshell aviator shades, shared insights from his 40 years of experience through market cycles.
